Honest and amazing!How do you make a Baby? gives a proper answer to the question asked by the title - without nonsense, but in a cheerful way. An undertone of wonder and thankfulness for life follow us all the way through. Anna Fiske has made a complete non-fiction about life that include us all. VG ******Anna Fiske does not go the long way around when she tells us how babies are made. She offers fun education for shy parents and curious children. It is unusual to see this kind of uncensored illustrations in a book for children. But why not call things by their name? Fiske shows what happens during intercourse, and also tell us that not everyone can have children the natural way. IVF, insemination and adoption all get their explanation. NRK
